I don't know about you but I think 2016 is pretty awesome. There are a list of things that I had planned to do before this year ends, and so far, everything that has happened is moving towards that direction.
I cannot take any credit. I make a draft plan and present it to God and he approves. And that goes for every person created. Some times we are so caught up in things of the world that we forget the important things. We fight our own battles and even though we know we haven't gotten the victory we deserve, we still fight on our own. The devil is fast at helping us forget that he was already defeated over 2,000 years ago, so he shifts our focus so that we fight the earthly way. Imagine if God was fighting all your battles? Imagine what you could have if you trusted in him when making all the decisions you have made? Where could you be?
How do we fight our own battles? Well, for starters, when was the last time you woke up and the first thing you did was ignore all the incoming notifications on your phone, knelt down and thanked God for the day? When did you last ask God to go before you and protect you and your family? When did you ask him to guide you as you go to work, school, business and wherever? When did you read the bible very early before you went out the house? Declaring the way Moses did, that if he does not go with you, you will not go either?
If you do not remember the last time, maybe its time to change. I am no saint, neither am I perfect, but one thing I know is that if you kneel down before God, you can stand before anyone!!!
Give it a shot, start the day with a prayer and read the bible. See how you will face the day with so much confidence knowing that you are covered. He is the Alpha and the Omega, he does not share Glory with anyone...
His mercies are always fresh every morning. Trust me, in time you will see the difference...
